Hello Brady! Now go kick OSU's ass!!
So, over/under on how many years before Hoke gets the can and Michigan starts another coaching search?

Crowton heading to Maryland?

Reports are circulating that Gary Crowton is interviewing for the OC position at Maryland. This would be in line with TD.com sources who say that Les Miles is looking to hire a new OC at LSU. The time is right for a change at OC for LSU. While no one will dispute the credit Crowton gets for the offense's success in his first season at LSU (2007), the offense has greatly underperformed in the last two seasons.
Among the candidates being mentioned to replace Crowton (if he leaves) is Steve Kragthorpe, former head coach at Louisville. Kragthorpe, who was out of coaching this past season, is also being mentioned as a candidate for the head coach opening at UConn.
UM will fire Hoke if/when Harbaugh struggles and gets on the hot seat in San Fran. I hate to say it as I like Hoke, but I just get the feel he is a transitional coach for Michigan.
I loved Hoke's press conference. I'm pretty happy right now. When he was asked if the Michigan job isn't considered elite any more he challenged the reporter, "Who says that? Who?" And when the guy said some ESPN personalities or something Hoke responded that they can say what they want and followed it with, "It is an elite job and will remain an elite job. It's Michigan for God's sake!"
Not anytime soon. I think Hoke is as good a fit for Michigan as Tressel was/is for Ohio State. Hoke may not reach the levels that Tressel's tenure has (obviously I hope he doesn't), but he's a good fit for Michigan. Rich Rod wasn't, and that, in my opinion, is the primary reason he was run out of town. Hoke knows what Michigan means, and he'll turn them around.

UConn dusts off the moth balls and hires Paul Pasqualoni. Interesting hire as I thought he had fallen off the radar for good and would stay in the coordinator ranks.
That's a pretty solid hire for UM at DC. RichRod should have done that a year or two ago.
I'm really happy with the hire. The coaching staff looks pretty good. Furthermore I think the recruiting class will be salvaged. They lost a few guys but it appears some California kids may now come to Michigan after Hoke tried recruiting them out West.

Rumors of Mike Leach considering the OC job at Oklahoma State.
The ONLY way I could see him doing that would be to stick it to TTU... that or just needs the money.
Or it's his only way to work his way back up to a HC job.....considering he's not hired anywhere else after all this time.
Man imagine Leech with Weeden and Blackmon :eek:
Hokemania is doing a great job with recruits. The class looks like it will be better than if Rich Rod hadn't been fired. Maybe a lot better. Doesn't change the fact that Michigan has only had four 5* kids since 2008 and none have made a big impact. Saw a report that Alabama has 15 four or five star recruits committed this year. Insane.
Names coming out of the woodwork in fact; they are hitting a lot of areas.
